Using "local" as an intel tool = metagaming.
How is using an ingame tool, that all players have access to, that is explained thoroughly in the backstory metagaming?
Quote:
Turning "local" into a "delayed mode" channel would be quite acceptable.
Yeah, apart from collapsing 0.0 overnight. Fun for level 4 *****s, though.

We both would use the same tool (scanner) so nothing is preventing carebears to be careful and not getting ganked, I just think the way its now local only benefits one side and poses a problem for the other.
Scanner only extends 14AU. Good luck aligning and warping out before that interceptor lands on you. Let's not even start on recon ships...
Local currently provides the hunter and the hunted with exactly the same intel which is equally advantageous to the semi-static hunted and the mobile hunter. Altering it in any way carries far too many repurcussions to ever be viable.

Seems to me like both sides would still be on equal footing
The attacking force is, by its very nature, at an advantage when searching out a defender via any player-controlled method.
And..
erm..
Why do you want to work for your intel? Timesinks ftl.

Would you please kindly link to the part of the backstory that says every pilot in the system automatically broadcasts his presence to everybody else in the same system ?
Not quite exact... However, every pilot is connected to a universal internet. If you're clutching at straws for arguments against convenient intel, you may aswell allow the counter argument to similarly clutch at straws for arguments to explain it. S'only fair.
Though again, i'd like to ask why anyone would want to remove local. It doesn't benefit anyone at all. All it results in is more timesinks.

...automatic scanning...
1) Cover the word "local" with a label
2) Write "Automatic Scanner Readout" on said label
3) ????
4) Profit.
